I have two cards to share with you today :)

I used a new die called Grad Cap Card die. It's makes a huge statement on your projects. The paper tassel is a die that is included with the set. The sentiment is from the stamp set called New Beginnings.

The "new beginnings" theme for May was inspired by my wedding last weekend <3

And I used a new dies called Rose Frame Die and Mr & Mrs Die.

Mr. & Mrs. Die is hand drawn...and connected :)

The Rose Frame includes 2 frames.

There’s an opera house on the U.S.–Canada border where the stage is in one country and half the audience is in another.
